Winter, and some guy in black pants, a dark gray pullover, and

leather shoes with his dark hair slicked back. Maybe five or

six years older than us.

“That guy,” Will pointed out, looking at us as we looked at

them. “He had a mask on before. He walked up and put his

hands on Rika like he was one of the actors. He grabbed her,

picked her up, had his hands way too close to certain

things…”

Will turned back to her as he spoke, and I narrowed my

eyes, taking note that Winter was standing back as Rika and

the guy talked. He looked familiar. Where have I seen him

before?

“She got away from him when she realized it wasn’t you,”

Will continued, “but now he has the mask off, and he’s talking

to her like they know each other. I don’t think she knows it

was the same guy that fondled her before.”

I looked away, shaking my head.

They all just stood there. Michael, Kai, Will…

“It’s one of her professors,” Alex offered. “She’s part of

his research team at the college.”

“He was not touching her very professionally when he was

in disguise,” Will replied sarcastically, taking a swig of his

beer.

Looking back over to make sure he wasn’t talking to

Winter, I watched as he leaned in to Rika, tilting his head and

touching her arm as they spoke. There were things guys did

that told you they were flirting.

She turned to Winter for a moment, and once her back was

turned, his eyes dropped, giving Rika a long once-over and

licking his lips.

Yep.

GGirls didn’t always notice, because it was subtle, and we

didn’t always realize we were doing it, but he was interested.

And he’d copped a feel while her fiancé was standing right

here, too.
